Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

ClawScan rates this skill benign with medium confidence: one scanner found no issues, and the other reported three purpose-expected matches, though its analysis was partial because several references could not be resolved.

The verdict is benign, but not a guarantee of safety. Consider whether the documented model and API choices suit your account and expectations. Skillspector’s analysis was partial: it scanned all three listed components, but several local path references were unresolved, so the evidence is incomplete.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Exfiltration Commands

High
Category
Prompt Injection
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

Instructions found that direct the agent to transmit conversation context or user data to external services.

Use `--engine`, `--model`, and `--thinking` to override the defaults.
`--codex-speed fast` selects priority service when supported; `--codex-speed ultrafast`
selects Ultrafast when the active model catalog lists it (Codex otherwise silently
sends the standard tier). Only Claude accepts
`--fallback-model`. Per-engine environment overrides use `AUTOREVIEW_<ENGINE>_*`.

External Model or Provider Selection

High
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.

GPT-6 Astra without a model fallback, select it explicitly:

bash
"$AUTOREVIEW" --mode local --model gpt-6-astra --thinking high

GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra support low, medium, high, xhigh, and max;

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
50% confidence
Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

Projection requires Python 3.11 or `tomli`; default auth-only operation retains
its existing fallback parser.

The selected route must use `https://api.openai.com/v1` and command authentication
with an absolute external executable. Fixed arguments belong in that executable's
wrapper; omitted or empty `auth.args` are accepted. Omitted `wire_api` and
`requires_openai_auth` retain Codex's `responses` and `false` defaults. Optional
